Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Vacuum Defense at Free against AR Blaster's $0.99. Vacuum Defense also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). AR Blaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
